Only two parasite interactions are known for Drosophila to date: Allantonematid nematodes associated with mycophagous Drosophilids and the ectoparasitic mite Macrocheles subbadius with the Sonoran Desert endemic Drosophila nigrospiracula. Unlike the nematode-Drosophila association, breadth of mite parasitism on Drosophila species is unknown. As M. subbadius is a generalist, parasitism of additional Drosophilids is expected. We determined the extent and distribution of mite parasitism in nature Drosophilids collected in Mexico and southern California. Thirteen additional species of Drosophilids were infested. Interestingly, 10 belong to the repleta species group of the subgenus Drosophila, despite the fact that the majority of flies collected were of the subgenus Sophophora. In all cases but 2, the associated mites were M. subbadius. Drosophila hexastigma was found to have not only M. subbadius, but another Mesostigmatid mite, Paragarmania bakeri, as well. One D. hydei was also found to have a mite from genus Lasioseius attached. In both choice and no-choice experiments, mites were more attracted to repleta group species than to Sophophoran. The extent of mite parasitism clearly is much broader than previously reported and suggests a host bias mediated either by mite preference and/or some mechanism of resistance in particular Drosophilid lineages.

“…Mitochondrial DNA is subject to strong genetic drift because of its maternal and haploid mode of inheritance . Genetically, it can be highly informative in the case of multiple sources of invasion, and mitochondrial genetic markers are often used to evaluate the geographic origin and colonisation history of introduced pests . Most recently, several researchers used mitochondrial COI (mt COI ) markers to analyse the genetic structure of the invasive pest, D. citri .…”

“…In South America it was found for the fi rst time in São Paulo city area near the Atlantic coast of Brazil in 1999 (Vilela, 1999). Since then, Z. indianus has been also detected in North and Central America (van der Linde et al, 2006;Castrezana, 2007Castrezana, , 2011Renkema et al, 2013;Joshi et al, 2014;Markow et al, 2014;Van Timmeren & Isaacs, 2014;Lasa & Tadeo, 2015;Holle et al, 2019). In South America it has been found in Ecuador (Acurio & Rafael, 2009), in many states of Brazil, both north and south from the initial point of detection (Castro & Valente, 2001;De Toni et al, 2001;Vilela et al, 2001;Santos et al, 2003;Tidon et al, 2003;Kato et al, 2004;Leao & Tidon, 2004;Chaves & Tidon, 2008;Furtado et al, 2009;Oliveira et al, 2009;Fernandes Rodrigues & Araújo, 2011;Pasini & Link, 2011;Ribeiro Barbosa et al, 2012;Poppe et al, 2014;Ferreira Mendes et al, 2017;Vasconcelos et al, 2017), and further south in Paraguay (Benítez Díaz, 2015), Uruguay (Goñi et al, 2001(Goñi et al, , 2002 and Argentina (Soto et al, 2006;Lavagnino et al, 2008).…”

Zaprionus indianus is a species of fl y native to the Afrotropical biogeographic region, which around twenty years ago invaded the American continent. Several studies have shown that local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of an invasive species in its native range could favour the colonization of new environments. Zaprionus indianus is a holometabolo us generalist polyphagous species that breeds and feeds on the fruits of several different species, which constitute different environments. In this context, we performed a comparative analysis of the phenotypic plasticity of morphological and life history traits in response to seven different breeding environments (i.e. different breeding fruits). The comparison was of native (Africa) vs. invaded ran ge (South America) wild-derived populatio ns . The population-level phenotypic plasticity values related to heterogeneity in different breeding environments for most traits analysed were higher for one of the native range population. This differentiation was also recorded for the ranking across breeding environments of developmental time and wing length mean phenotypic values. In addition, mean phenotypic values pooled across fruit treatments were larger for individuals from the invaded range, which suggests local adaptation. Results defi ne a scenario in which, although not for all the populations analysed, phenotypic plasticity contributes to the invasiveness and local adaptation in native range population of Z. indianus.
